In viral social media post showing off his new Indian visa, US citizen Anthony Louis Klor draws comparison between Trump & Modi’s stance on foreigners.
Global media says Trump’s new H-1B visa rule, added to 50% tariff, makes it more pressing than ever for India to fix impediments that hamper its economic potential.
Each year, nearly 85,000 H-1B visas are granted via a lottery system. Between October 2022 and September 2023, 72 percent of nearly 4,00,000 visas were granted to Indian nationals.
Indian immigrants have long used jus soli to become US citizens: those on temporary visas raised families while waiting for permanent residence. The order still has to face legal test.
Global media reports on how row over H-1B programme in US is causing anxiety among Indians keen on achieving the American dream. The visa offers a pathway to permanent residency.
The bill proposes a pathway to citizenship to 11 million undocumented workers, elimination of per country quota for green cards and work authorisation for H-1B workers' dependents.
The continuation of the restrictions, which comes with just 20 days left in the Republican President's term, is the latest effort to bar the entry of immigrants into the US.
The problem of labour shortages can be addressed by raising the cap on the total number of H-1Bs & increasing the minimum salary that employers are required to pay H-1B workers.
